Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The CYP11B2 locus is an important candidate region in essential hypertension (HT). We therefore investigated CYP11B2 polymorphisms T-344C, T4986C and A6547G for association with essential HT. This included haplotype analysis and measurement of plasma aldosterone levels. METHODS: The three single nucleotide polymorphisms were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length...
